STILLWATER — Not far in the distance, if you’re seated in the right spot at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium, you can see the future of Oklahoma State baseball.
Or at the very least, you can see the crane that towers above it, pulling together the pieces of O’Brate Stadium, the Cowboys’ palace-in-waiting, that sits to the west of OSU’s current home.
The 18th-ranked Cowboys have one more year on the hallowed dirt of Allie P., and the last home opener in the stadium started right.
First, with Cowboy pitcher C.J. Varela’s strikeout of Little Rock’s leadoff hitter, Christian Reyes; and finally, with an 8-3 OSU victory within the walls of the stadium that has seen an abundance of Cowboy baseball history since it opened in April of 1981.
